Harry, Meghan and the “Christmas truce”. They sent gifts to George, Charlotte and Louis. Peace in sight?

It will be a very different Christmas that of 2020 for Harry of England, the first in 36 years away from London and his family of origin, with whom in recent months there have been many disagreements, between gossip never confirmed and an understandable desire for independence, which since he married the former actress Meghan Markle has completely revolutionized its priorities. Something, however, would be changing, and for the positive.

According to royal biographer Andrew Morton, author of the volume Diana, Her True Story , Harry and Meghan would send London gifts for their grandchildren, George, 7, Charlotte, 5 and Louis, 2, sons of William and Kate. The gifts, whose nature is unknown, would have been purchased in a boutique in Santa Barbara, and Meghan would have accompanied them with hand-made greetings, taking advantage of her writing skills (the Duchess, moreover, has a past calligraphy teacher). William and Kate would also have little thoughts for the Sussexes and the couple’s son Archie, a year and a half. Kensington Palace, consulted by Daily Mail, he refused to make any statements about it. Is the climate between London and Los Angeles finally more relaxed?

It is impossible to determine if what the tabloids have promptly renamed “Christmas truce” it will have positive long-term consequences, healing the rift that has been created between Cambridge and Sussex, and more generally, between Windsor and Sussex. What is certain is that everyone is preparing to experience different holidays and that many plans have gone up in smoke.

Kate, William and their three children were to spend it in Berkshire, in Bucklebury, with the Middeltons reunited, but the latest provisions of the Johnson government have upset the intent. Berkshire and London were initially on level 3 alert due to the resurgence of Covid-19, which has mutated in the UK and other countries, so Kate had proposed to her family to spend Christmas at Anmer Hall, but in the night between Saturday and Sunday Berkshire has been moved to level 4, and no move will be allowed.

Thus the Cambridge will have a Christmas for five, while Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip will spend it alone in Windsor. Busier Highrove House, the residence of Charles and Camilla in Gloucestershire: there will also be the two children of the Duchess of Cornwall and her five grandchildren. To keep company with Harry, Meghan and Archie, Doria Ragland, mother of the former actress, but a series of video calls between the United Kingdom and the United States would seem very likely. For a meeting in person, however, we will have to wait a little longer.
